FACT AGAINST THEORY.

Tho Practical Results of Woman Suffrag
How Women in Wyoming Vote. z
An ounce of fact is worth ton of
theory in estimating the practical re-
suits of new measure. Here is what
the Douglas (Wy. T.) BudJet has to
say of woman suffrage; and it is to be
noted that almost all, the papers pub
lished in Wyoming Territory speak in
q similar strain:
Sixty-six ladies voted Mt the recent
election. and the majority of them
were ladies in every sense Of the term.
Wyoming exalts her women. They
are viewed in the light of rational.
sensible human beings. who are en-
lowed with common sense and in every
way qualified TO vote rs intelligently
as the men. Woman suffrage has stood
upon our statute books for twenty
years. 1t is good thing; we know it
is a good thing because we have tried
it. At Cheyenne, Laramie, Rawlins.
and all of the older towns in the Terri
tory, ninety-nine women out of every
hundred vote. The law requires that
space of fifteen feet OH each side OF
the polling-piace shall be kept clear OF
every one but two challengcrs, who
must be of good behavior.
Carriages are provided for the ladies',
who are conveyed to the polls and
treated with every consideration while
there. The man who should venture an
indecent or profanc remark, or offer to
interfere in the least with the lady
voter, would receive more severe
lick than the historical Billy Patterson
received at the hands of the man nearest
to him at the time, and good round
fine next day after nights lodging
in the lookup. A lady ut the polls on
election day is really less liable to in
suit than when on u shopping cxpedi-
ton, or at the post-oflice after mail,
when the room is crowded with peO-
pie on 4 like errand. There are ladies
who are not ladies who vote, of course;
there are gentlemen who are not gentle
men who vote also. But the lady who
is Il lady is not thrown into the society
of the fair but frail creature when ut
the polls, any more than when she
! passes her on the street. The fact is
that our women vote, and We are proud
of them for it, and all the so-called
arguments brought against woman
suffrage by old fogics are not founded
on the rock of eternal truth, and will
not stand tho light of actual ex-
pericnce.
